Today is the first day of my pre op diet. I am starving! But, I KNOW that it is only head hunger, because I have eaten more this morning than I normally do. It didn't help that one of my coworkers brought in home baked goods. I have to think of them as home baked "bads" and that I am sure they taste horrible anyway... Best to all.

So after 2+ years of thinking about this surgery EVERY day and the commitment to change, I have finally scheduled the surgery. I feel a sense of relief that I have made the decision and can now move on. I guess you can't call me "impulsive." I now have a sense of fear and desire to eat everything before the big day. I am not planning on doing that, but needed to get that out there. Just typing those words helps take out the power of them. Well, we'll see how this goes. Best to all.
